I was delighted to learn recently that the award-winning author Stacy Juba is pulling together three of her most exciting mysteries and creating the Young Ladies of Mystery Series. This thrilling mystery collection has been referred to as the Nancy Drew Mysteries Series for grown-ups. Although each book can be read as a standalone mystery, the entire series features the common theme of strong young women thrust into a dangerous world of mystery and intrigue - all told from the settings of various towns throughout New England. I would advise you to go grab your own copies today!!!
